This weekend was the opening of pheasant hunting season in Iowa, and at least seven hunters have already been injured.

State officials say an eigth person died of natural causes in his car after he felt sick while hunting with a group.

The season runs through January tenth.

The department of natural resources says about 140-thousand hunters were expected in Iowa this weekend, more than last year ...because pheasant numbers are up across the state.
